Project types which do not qualify for an Energy Star rating (Case 1) can use Case 2, Option 1 or Option 2 (A, B, or C) as appropriate. The details of these methodologies is found in the EBOM Reference Guide.

One thing you'll need to be particularly careful of, Jose, is the possibility of normalizing your energy consumption for variations in production. With a manufacturing facility (or partial manufacturing), changes in output can have significant impacts on energy use - normalizing for those changes is the only way to analyze efficiency. You may also want to look into identifying sources of comparable building data - industry or trade associations are one possibility, or public consumption surveys like those produced by the Energy Information Administration. It's a challenging building type, no question about it, but definitely do-able in EBOM.
